2024 Italian Grand Prix - Monza, Aug 30 - Sep 1

McLaren are hiding a lot with engine mode, Redbull too, but not as much.
Ferrari really looks like a Phoenix that has woken up from slumber and Mercedes looks good as well, especially in parabolica.
The best two cars in parabolica seem to be the Mercedes and Redbull.

Qualifying will still end up being farcical as is always the case in Monza.

Wasn’t Red bull and Mercedes running the most DF out of the top 4?

Merc's rear wing at least is pretty trimmed back.

After seeing the two practice sessions today, it seems Ferrari have a faster car this weekend after they made several updates to their car before the Italian GP. It won't be a surprise to see another podium finish by Ferrari this Sunday.

Wondering whats people's take on his assessment are

Yea, supposedly the second lowest level of DF of the top 4

Not sure if anyone else had noted but the Mclarens and Hamilton set their fastest FP2 times on used ‘a second run’ tyres where as Ferraris laptime was set on a fresh set.
I have only just realised.

A word of caution - making premature conclusions on engine modes in Monza before Q2 or even Q3 can lead to big dissapointment. Every bit of extra power is very valuable here and usually it makes a lot of difference in the end, a very unique feature of this track

Nice to see RBR have a decent tyre allocation for a change.

Agreed. Q3 is the real education.

Someone found the Red Bull tyres
